Chapter 5, Problem 5D.1BST

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molar solubility in water of ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}\text{ at 1}\text{.00 }\text{atm}$ has to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Henry’s law:

The solubility of a gas in a liquid is proportional to its partial pressure.

    $\begin{array}{l}{\text{Solubility = K}}_{\text{H}}\times \text{ Partial pressure}\\ \\ {\text{K}}_{\text{H}}=\text{Henry}\text{'}s\text{constant}\end{array}$
